Can not add Media in my local install – answer – resolved

This is the answer to my post

Can not add Media in my local install

My answer is not transmitted! I try again for the fifths time, this time in a new thread (Perhaps the forum mom could insert my answer to my thread and trash this new thread:

Thank you Tanveer!

This was very helpful!

In five Minutes I resolved this problem doing the following, inspired by

https://cycentum.miraiserver.com/en/Memos/WordPressPermission.html

I looked into my apache config file, to check the group

vim /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

In this file I searched for the keyword “group” and found:

<IfModule unixd_module>

User _www
Group _www

</IfModule>

Then I changed into my wp-upload folder doing following commands in my shell:

cd /Library/WebServer/Documents/wordpress
sudo chown -R mstep:www uploads/

First command:
You need to change “wordpress”-folder to the name of your wordpress-project-name

Second command:
you need to change mstep to your user name. Perhaps it is easier to make instead the following command like follows:

sudo chgrp www uploads

Thank you for your help again!
